Yet another Hartal is here in our so called God’s Own Country.
Kerala is indeed a beautiful place to live, but sometimes it seriously sucks.
I would say the whole problem started when communists won the elections of 1957 and EMS became the first non congress Chief minister. They were a curse to the society then, are now and will be forever. Till the roots of communism are removed from Kerala, it will never see sunshine. Well I am not supporting Congress here. They are as corrupt as every Indian Politian, but they do make an attempt to make things better.
I’ll give you a scenario. Suppose a huge amount is allocated for Road development.
The supporters of Indira will use around 20% for the roads but the other one will eat up the whole amount making the people of Kerala, who boast of 100% literacy, real schmucks.
When I visited Kerala last, I was intimidated by the condition of the roads there. I would say literally there were no Roads. From the Road contractors, I came to know the Yearly maintenance was not done. The fund allocated went directly to the Red Party people. Last day, when I was going to my native place, for around 20 kms the road was good. When I asked my uncle how come this happened, he told me the story. It was a contract taken by a Malaysian company. They completed half the road, but the Government didn’t pay even a single penny which ended up in the suicide of the contractor. Such is our government.
One day when we were all lying down on the Terrace counting the stars, my friend said “It’s good right we have an Anti development Party in our state. They will make sure that our state won’t lose its natural Beauty by bringing up Sky scrapers and Pollution like here.” We all laughed hysterically.

So true sibs! Almost every other time i listen to the Asianet or Surya news, there will be invariably be a band/hartal somewhere in kerala.
The other day there was a hartal in Kannur or some northern dist for improving the condition of Airline travellers and to provide them better facilities. All this was done by blocking road traffic and not letting a single public transport vehicle ply. So to improve Airlines travellers which is a very small section, they went abt troubling a larger section of ppl. This is the irony of it!!!!
Yeah, in a way I quite agree with your last statement. Kerala will remain the land of beautiful villages sans the sky scrappers eating away both the land n the sky.
P.S: Watch your words against communist!! Once i wrote few words against them and i was bombarded by supporters!
he he... last day there was a hartal against fever... :)
Communists... let them say... i have reply for them :)
